Moneen did some interviews for MTV for a segment called Making The Band 4 Quick Chats. These will be aired during the premier of Making the Band 4 which airs tomorrow night at 10 PM eastern time on MTV.

The Reason will be on Much On Demand June 26 to premier their newest video - All I Ever Wanted. In addition, they’ll be choosing the winner of the Gibson Guitar giveaway that we had running in May. Did you enter? So sad if you didn’t - it’s a $1500 guitar.

Tune in to MOD from 5-6 PM (EDT) on MuchMusic to see all the good times.

We’re excited to announce both the signing of Broadway Calls in Canada and the domestic release of their self-titled debut full-length album July 10th, 2007.

Broadway Calls is the sometimes pop, sometimes punk, always ultra-catchy band hailing from Rainier, Oregon. Having been compared to bands like Latterman, Green Day, Alkaline Trio and Kid Dynamite, Broadway Calls appeals to an audience of intense, genuine music lovers: The kind of crowd that loves to sing every word to every song.

Within the first year together Broadway Calls wrote and recorded their album, completed a full US tour and played shows with Crime In Stereo, I Am The Avalanche, The Smoking Popes, Avail, This Is Hell, Set It Straight, Ruiner, Dead Hearts, and Final Fight.

Accomplishing that much in their first year can mean only one thing: This band is fishing with the right hooks. The songs are melodic, straight-ahead and extremely difficult not to sing along to. Produced by Willie Samuels of Green Day’s Production team at Pittsburgh’s Nu-Tone studios, this album is so well crafted that it would find good company amongst veteran bands such as Lagwagon, The Ataris and Saves the Day.

Formed in the winter of 2005/2006, Broadway Calls is Ty Vaughn (Guitar/Vocals),

Matt Koenig (Bass/Vocals) Robert Baird (Guitar) and Josh Baird (Drums). The band is built on the solid foundation of Josh and Ty’s decade-long history of making music together. Their previous band Countdown to Life was signed to New Age Records (Strife, Countervail, Lifetime).

Smallman Records has announced the signing of Sights & Sounds, the new project from Comeback Kid front man Andrew Neufeld. The band’s debut self-titled EP is scheduled for release in Canada July 10th.

The band includes members of Comeback Kid, Sick City, The Getaway and Figure Four: vocalist/guitarist Andrew Neufeld, drummer Joel Neufeld, bassist Matt Howes, and guitarist Adrian Mottram. With members located in Winnipeg and Toronto, the band first came together New Year’s Eve 2006 and would meet as often as they could in between tours and commitments to write and record their songs.

Taking inspiration from bands like Mew, the Police, Foo Fighters, Lifetime, and Sigur Ros, you can check out some material from their demo on their MySpace page.
